Axio 2.0, released in August 2006 – on time and on budget – gives K-State a learning management system that rivals commercial products such as Blackboard and WebCT.  This release features many updates, including essay questions, on-line timed assignments, a new student interface, and support for the Wimba virtual classroom system.  Developed to meet the needs of the K-State teaching and research communities, Axio now extends to other users and education markets.  Angela Chauncey and the Axio 2.0 Team are recognized for their creative ambition, their devotion to excellence, their consistent inclusion of input and suggestions from campus users, and their tireless effort to create a coherent and usable LMS (learning management system) for the K-State community and beyond.  K-State courses, collaboration, and communication – now, more than ever – are powered by Axio.
